A-tier: Zhu Yuan
- Element/specialization: Ether – Attack
- Faction: New Eridu Public Security
- Rarity: S-rank or 5-star; limited-time banner
Zhu Yuan is a standout character in Zenless Zone Zero, making her debut in her own limited-time banner during the latter part of version 1.0. With a unique combination of martial arts and pistol skills, she deals a devastating mix of Physical and Ether damage. Her exceptional attack speed is enhanced by the Special Ops Ammunition core passive, providing extra damage against stunned foes. Additionally, the Tactical Coordination perk boosts her critical rate by +30% after using her EX special, chain attack, or ultimate.
While Zhu Yuan’s prowess is undeniable, her lack of synergy with other New Eridu Public Security characters prevents her from reaching S-tier status. To maximize her potential, it’s recommended to pair her with Nicole in your squad. Additionally, consider recruiting Ellen from the 1.0 gacha pull to round out your team if you prefer having only one agent from a limited-time banner.
